On this week's episode of IMPACT, host Meghan Walker is joined by two experts in women's health - Dr. Stephanie Estima, a chiropractor and expert in functional neurology, and Dr. Anna Cabeca, a world-renowned, triple-board-certified obstetrician and gynecologist who helps women transition through the various hormonal phases of their lives. Meghan’s guests share their insights on navigating the hormonal changes that occur during perimenopause and menopause.

Dr. Estima discusses the role of the ketogenic diet in supporting brain function and reducing inflammation during these stages of life. She notes that the effectiveness of the keto diet can vary for women compared to men, and that it's important to individualize the approach.

Dr. Cabeca emphasizes the importance of women taking control of their own health and being proactive in understanding their bodies and how to support their well-being. She advises women to be mindful of their diet, particularly avoiding excess carbohydrates which have been linked to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, stroke, and cancer. Instead, she recommends focusing on whole foods, incorporating plenty of greens, and limiting processed and sugary foods. Dr. Cabeca also advocates for detoxification and intermittent fasting, as well as getting enough sleep and incorporating flexibility into daily routines.

In addition to diet and self-care, the importance of checking urine pH as an indicator of overall health and well-being is emphasized, as well as eating small, early dinners before 7 pm to support longevity. Starting each day with gratitude, prayer, or meditation will set a positive foundation for a day of clarity and focus. 

Overall, Dr. Cabeca and Dr. Estima emphasize the importance of taking a holistic approach to supporting the body's natural desire for homeostasis, balance, and health during perimenopause and menopause. By taking control of our own health and being proactive in understanding and supporting our bodies, we can better navigate these stages of life and maintain optimal well-being.

This episode is beyond beneficial so make sure to tune it and absorb all that these experts have to share.

MEMORABLE QUOTES

“Where there weren't solutions for me, I created solutions for others.”

Dr. Anna Cabeca

 

“If you've been heavy and lost the weight and then all of a sudden you start gaining the weight again, you're like, when will it ever stop? So I had that fear and that took me into embracing the ketogenic lifestyle.”

Dr. Anna Cabeca

 

“As we enter menopause, we become less able to use glucose for fuel in the brain because it's an estrogen dependent process. So switching to ketones at least periodically really powers up our brain.”

Dr. Anna Cabeca

 

“We can powerfully use behaviors to control our physiology and empower physiology to improve our behaviors, so they're combined.”

 Dr. Anna Cabeca

 

“I feel as though there has been no further sophistication in thinking other than if you’re premenopausal we’ll just stick you on the pill and if you’re postmenopausal we’ll put you on hormone replacement therapy and this whole endocrine thing, it's really not that complicated.”

Dr. Meghan Walker

 

“I say, don't give me the control over your health. Take control of your own health because you have to discern what's working for you and what's not.”

Dr. Anna Cabeca

 

“The resources out there for women are not plentiful. And the conversations by men are not inclusive.”

Dr. Meghan Walker

 

“If you can pick it, peel it, fish or hunt it, milk it or grow it, then for the most part you can eat it, you know, staying with real food.”

Dr. Anna Cabeca

 

“Getting rid of the shame and guilt that we have as women that we carry because we can't act exactly like men or do the things that men can do I think is really important.”

Dr. Stephanie Estima

 

“Oxytocin's a powerful alkalinizer, so that hormone of love, bonding and connection is important.”

Dr. Anna Cabeca

On this week’s episode of IMPACT, host Meghan Walker is joined by two guests -- John Jackson who works for Hustle 2.0, an organization that helps people who are incarcerated in the U.S. through holistic rehabilitation, and Sammy Taggett, entrepreneurial wizard and founder of Evolved Podcasting.

 

Sammy Taggett began his entrepreneurial journey in humble beginnings, starting out as a door-to-door salesperson and even working as a mint-and-napkin guy in a nightclub bathroom. It was in this unlikely setting that he seized the opportunity to become a DJ and learn about inspiring and educating people as an entrepreneur. According to Sammy, one key to success is finding your "zone" and building a supportive team around you. He also stresses the importance of having big dreams, having fun, and seeking out supportive individuals.

 

John Jackson, on the other hand, had a difficult upbringing. His mother was murdered at a young age, and he ended up living with his aunt, a drug dealer. In order to save her from incarceration, John took the rap for her and spent many years in prison as a gang member. After being released, he now helps younger people who have been in prison by teaching them leadership, resilience, and determination, leading them down a path of positivity and purpose.

 

Despite their different backgrounds, both Sammy and John are inspiring examples of how to turn difficult circumstances into a new and better life through self-belief and a focus on the possibilities around them.

 

Don't miss this empowering episode filled with insights and lessons on how to turn challenges into opportunities. Enjoy listening!

On this week’s episode of IMPACT, host Meghan Walker wraps up The Future Of Health series by laying out the upcoming 2023 leading trends in healthcare and wellness from the Global Wellness Institute.

 

One trend will be increasing connections between our own health and the health and diversity of our environment. The second trend is around technological wellness and the effect of blue light from our devices. More conversations about how technology needs to be managed will be necessary as we move closer to optimal states of wellness.

 

We will also see more innovations in independent living and home care for seniors to maintain and prolong their quality of life. Wellness travel will also become more popular, incorporating activities like meditation for deep emotional and physical healing along with adventure travel.

 

A revolution in women’s health will be another big trend, especially with the use of artificial intelligence to make decisions about the specific needs and nature of women. And urban bathhouses and wellness playgrounds will become more popular as community centers, instead of local bars, for example.

 

Another trend will be health coaching, where we can use a health coach to hold us accountable for our health and wellness. And count on the metaverse – the digital world – to transform our healthcare practices through sharing of information and strategies that can be brought back to the real world.

 

IMPACT medicine and the delivery of care and health optimization will be a major trend in developing eco-systems of possibility for clinicians to help people take their health to the next level.

 

This Future Of Health series wrap up episode contains advantageous information about the trends that will start to shift health care globally over the next 12–18 months. We can all benefit from the detail included in this episode about these trends so take a listen and be prepared for the Future of Health!

Dec 6, 2022

On this week’s episode of IMPACT, we’re joined by Dr. Sherry Walling, a clinical psychologist, entrepreneur and an expert on handling grief. She is also the author of Touching Two Worlds about the duality of joy and grief.

 

All of us experience pain and grief at some point in our lives because it’s a very normal and important part of human relationships and human emotion. But some of us get stuck in grief and hold trauma in our bodies, especially entrepreneurs and high performers who seldom slow down.

 

Grief is not linear – it may go away for a while and then months later, resurface in a different way. Grief can show itself through anger, anguish, sadness, and stillness. But it can also be fuel, passion and the determination to change something or advocate for a cause. This is all part of the grief process.

 

It’s important to tell stories of loved ones who have passed on to share the reality of grief. The deeper work of grief is internal storytelling so that the role of that person in your life doesn’t get glossed over.

 

The holidays are a great time to acknowledge the joy a loved one brought while honoring their memory with family, children, and friends.

 

This episode is special. It is for everyone. There are things that we are ALL going to experience in our lifetime… and grief is one of them.

 

Grief is complicated but giving space for all that comes with grief is important. What does this involve? Listen to this week’s episode to learn more.

MEMORABLE QUOTES

“Grief is a very normal part of human relationship and human emotion, and one that has all of these sort of riches and depths instead of like an ailment that needs to be treated.”

  • Dr. Sherry Walling

 

“Integrating the body and movement into a course of working through grief is now absolutely central to how I think about what humans need when they're grieving.”

  • Dr. Sherry Walling

 

“The unique thing about helping entrepreneurs or high performers grieve is that we're really good at not grieving. Our lives are really full, so it's very, very difficult for us to give the time and space to grief that it may warrant.”

  • Dr. Sherry Walling

 

“The deeper work of grief is the remembering. It is the storytelling internally so that the role of that person in your life doesn't get sort of glossed over.”

  • Dr. Sherry Walling

 

“I also think this idea of grief as sadness is not super helpful because grief is many, many things. It can be anger, it can be anguish, it can be sadness, it can be stillness, but it can also be fuel, it can also be passion. It can be the determination to change something, fix something, advocate for something that's all part of a grief process. And so I think grief can be fiery as much as it can be blue. And so giving space to all the parts of grief I think is really helpful.”

The Future Of Health series continues on IMPACT with guest Harry Massey, a forward-thinking bioenergetic researcher who owns several companies that build bioenergetic tools to quantify what’s happening in the energetic field.

 

Massey talks with Dr. Meghan Walker about some of the ways energy can be leveraged for healing and prevention to create a higher quality of living in the future. His efforts were born out of severe disability in his twenties after climbing accidents, which built up toxins and autoimmune viruses in his body.

 

After that, he and a colleague mapped out the energy and information of the human body field as an energetic control system, to see how energy works within different tissues and cells. Ideas from physics were also combined with alternative holistic medicine.

 

The body acts on two systems – the chemical system and the communication system, which is instantaneous. 70 trillion cells in the body are operating in their own function every single second. How can this help your health? Information can be directly inputted into your operating system so get different tissues and cells to respond in certain ways to improve their condition.

 

Environment also plays a huge role and Massey believes that 90% of your health outcome is your environment, not genetics. Massey’s company, NES Health, has created a Biogen Wellness System where you can basically scan the energy of your organs through your different meridians and mind-body connection and then recommend pharmaceuticals that will trigger a healing response for injuries and pain.

 

Emotions play a significant role as well – with gratitude, intention, surrender and trust being paramount in your daily practice. The more you’re in those heart-centered states, the more the universe will respond to your intentions.

 

Harry Massey is such a proponent of the future of health and this fascinating conversation provides valuable information about bioenergetics. It offers lots to consider. Take a listen!

The Future of Health series continues on IMPACT as Meghan is joined by Kristi Holt, the CEO and co-founder of Vibeonix, a company that quantifies voices to give us insight into emotional intelligence, using AI and data points. 

 

Analyzing your voice frequencies helps to make you aware of where you are emotionally so you can change it in the future. Vibeonix has created a unique algorithm to help users not just understand emotional intelligence but actually improve it and apply it to daily life.

 

It works by measuring resonance, tone and intonation in the voice, as well as the frequency of what is carrying the information. With this knowledge, we can start predicting emotional patterns, therefore predicting different diseases in the body to prevent it from ever happening.

 

This technology is all about being more aware and smarter about ourselves as human beings to bring us back to ourselves. From that space, we can create anything -- we can heal and empower ourselves to embody who we want to be. We can IMPACT.

 

Check out this episode to learn more about this groundbreaking technology and business.

“When I heard that your voice is literally carrying the resonance of your energy systems inside of you, it was a mind blow for me, and something so profound told me that this was real.”

- Kristi Holt

 

“Our goal as a company, and this is what aligns with my values most, is to reflect it back to the users. So users can understand their emotional intelligence, see it, quantify it, and improve it.”

- Kristi Holt 

 

“We can measure emotional intelligence through resonance in the body and then how the body is projecting that resonance.”

- Kristi Holt 

 

“Tone and intonation is part of it, but it's so much more than that. We're measuring the frequency, and frequency is what carries information. We are also able to measure how much control you have and how much you're actually expressing emotion.”

- Kristi Holt 

 

“We can start looking at the body and find correlation to the voice, to the emotion, then we'll be able to start predicting emotional patterns, therefore predicting different diseases in the body.”

“Why I love emotional intelligence is it brings you back to you. And then from that space you can create anything. You can heal, you can empower, you embody.”

- Kristi Holt 

“When we ignore, suppress and avoid emotion, we are ignoring, suppressing and avoiding our ability to live. And we're here to live. We're here to experience and all of these emotions are for us to experience.

Nov 15, 2022

On this week’s episode of IMPACT, Dr. Meghan Walker is joined by Dr. Sachin Patel, an innovative leader in functional medicine, founder of the Living Proof Institute and author of the best-selling book, Perfect Practice. He believes that every patient can become their own doctor to help heal themselves.

 

So many of the poor health conditions and diseases that people face today are preventable, but most people just don’t know the basics of preventive care and good health. With the right tools and capacity for empowerment, patients can have a role in reversing the symptoms of disease themselves. 

 

Dr. Patel believes the things that are sabotaging people’s health are not detectable through lab tests. They are things like relationships, the lighting in their home, their lack of connection with nature, not knowing how to breathe intentionally and not getting enough restful sleep. It’s important to recognize the factors that are making you unhealthy so that you can turn them around and find solutions.

 

It all comes down to wearable technology where patients can see how they’re getting better and increase their own self-awareness and positive reinforcement. And doctors can coach their patients better by looking at the data from the technology. Patients love it because now they’re being held accountable, and doctors love it because they have more data points to work with and show the power of what they do.

 

Wearable technology can help in reducing weight and pain, hypertension, diabetes and so much more. It’s also important to learn how to breathe intentionally, realign your circadian rhythms and get restful deep sleep. Taking care of the body in these ways leads to transformational change, not just in your physical journey but also in your mental and emotional journey.

 

Enjoy listening to this episode which leaves you with so much to consider.

Nov 8, 2022

Welcome to another episode from “The Future of Health” series. This series will explore and discuss new ideas on the horizon in the healthcare industry. Energetic medicine is the focus of this week’s episode as Meghan is joined by Dr. Jesse Pierce, a licensed naturopathic doctor who uses frequencies to treat complex chronic illness. Meghan and Jessie discuss how we are bombarded by frequencies daily and how this influences the electromagnetics of our cells in negative and positive ways.

 

A frequency is something you can’t see; it’s basically the rate at which sound or current is produced and registered in the body. We have frequencies running through our bodies constantly. By improving the body’s energetic frequency, we can help our bodies heal from a multitude of problems and calm inflammation. 

 

Frequencies are delivered by sound, in water or through current that runs through the body to help it heal. Acupressure is one way to tap into those frequencies. By inserting small needles, the energy in certain meridians can be moved and blockages cleared.

 

Dr. Pierce also uses a tiny box with wires attached that sends out specific microcurrents. This can help shift the brain from trauma or shift the body from inflammation stemming from mold, Lyme disease, autoimmune conditions and more. Such microcurrents can also reset our genetics to improve how well our body can function over time.

 

Frequency medicine is additionally used to treat acute injuries and physical pain. It can aid in anxiety and depression, fatigue, fibromyalgia and even weight loss. The more we feel healthy, aligned and balanced on an energetic level, the better off we all are. 

 

Energetic medicine is the new frontier in healing. Listen to this week’s episode to learn why!

Food really is medicine, but sometimes staying away from food is even more healing. That’s the idea behind intermittent fasting. In this episode of Impact, Meghan talks with Cynthia Thurlow, a nurse practitioner and internationally known women’s health expert whose TEDx Talk has received more than 10 million views.

 

Intermittent fasting is eating within a prescribed time period, and not eating within another prescribed time period. Why does it matter? It has to do with our metabolism. Metabolic flexibility is critically important to our health, and intermittent fasting promotes such flexibility by allowing your body to be more effective at using different types of fuel. Chronically overfeeding the body is what contributes to metabolic disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, infertility issues, polycystic ovarian syndrome, and so much more. 

 

Fasting improves our insulin sensitivity so our bodies can access stored fat as a fuel source instead of stored sugar. And when we're using fat as a fuel source, we don't get hungry in between meals and we’re able to lose weight much more easily. It also allows our body to get rid of diseased and disordered cells, like taking out the garbage.

 

Many women who do intermittent fasting also are able to come off blood pressure and diabetes medications. They have fewer digestive issues, less bloating and more regular bowel movements. It can also help to lower the risk for certain types of cancers, dementia, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.

 

Our bodies are designed to be challenged, so it’s important to make changes as you get older. Intermittent fasting can be one of those changes to keep your body healthy and optimal.

 

Cynthia Thurlow is so conversant with the topic of intermittent fasting and there is much to take in from this episode. So have a listen and learn more!

What does thinking like an entrepreneur mean?

 

In this week’s episode of IMPACT, Meghan unpacks this very question with her guest Kelsey Abbott, a serial entrepreneur and triathlete who is unapologetically invested in helping people unlock their true potential. 

 

Meghan and Kelsey discuss the mechanisms of thinking that define us as entrepreneurs which brings us to the final episode of this series and the final letter of the IMPACT acronym, the ‘T’, which stands for thinking like an entrepreneur.

 

Meghan and Kelsey believe one of the best qualities of an entrepreneur is being decisive and grabbing on to an opportunity when it presents itself. However, they stress that the “how” is really less important than having the clarity of what you want to attract as an entrepreneur. Life can unfold almost magically if you set your intention on your entrepreneurial goals.

 

The foundation of your business is you, so you have to take care of your physical, mental and spiritual self first to be able to help others. Make yourself available to others because entrepreneurs don’t meet their clients sitting at desks; they meet them when they’re out in the world being their best selves.

 

Get rid of your negative thought habits and the story you’ve been telling yourself. Picture your ideal clients and go after them. Be excited to do it differently and when people say no, don’t take it personally. It’s not about you at all, it’s about the universe guiding each person -- including you.

In this episode of Impact, Meghan talks with April Stroink, a money coach and financial advisor who specializes in helping entrepreneurs create financial clarity, ease, and abundance in their practice.

 

Throughout their discussion, Meghan and April continually tie their conversation back to the analogy of a financial storm. The storm could represent a shift in the financial market or something that could potentially throw your business off course. Whatever it may represent, Meghan and April discuss that storms are not necessarily meant to swoop us out to sea. Those who will fare the best are the ones who can acknowledge the trajectory of the storm and make decisions in alignment with what is coming their way. When you see the storm coming, there are decisions that you can make to help protect your home, and in the case of this analogy, to protect your business and financial situation. When your business is future proofed you will be able to capitalize and move momentum in the direction of opportunity. 



But future-proofing your business and adding additional revenue streams can be challenging. Many entrepreneurs have self-negating attitudes about how they make money, or perhaps believe that they don’t deserve to make abundant money for the services they offer. Meghan and April unpack this idea of quantum wealth, which comes from a mindset of abundance, not scarcity.

 

As Meghan has mentioned in previous episodes, she is completely over allowing the energy of scarcity to be pervasive in this community. And this episode will certainly be helpful in stopping the cycle of scarcity as it exposes some of the mindset and thinking traps that practitioners are finding themselves in. Techniques and strategies are provided that can be deployed in your business which will leave you in a position to take advantage of the opportunities that lay before you.

 

Want to be prepared for the storm and minimize your risk moving forward? Then you won’t want to miss this episode.

On this week’s episode of IMPACT, Meghan Walker is joined by Elise Darma, a Canadian entrepreneur, marketing coach and expert in creating effective social media strategies for businesses, to discuss the “A” in IMPACT medicine - attraction.

 

As an entrepreneur, the task of constantly creating and posting can feel daunting and unbearable. How do you attract and capture that target audience when your video comes up in their feed? Elise answers this question and so much more in this episode as she and Meghan discuss how to use the various social media platforms efficiently. 

 

Tik Tok is great for keeping up on trends, but don’t forget Instagram and Twitter, and even Pinterest, YouTube shorts and LinkedIn. And although there is an overwhelming amount of platforms, Elise points out that you can repurpose your videos on different sites.

 

The key to slowly building your audience is to be consistent. Short-form video is the best free tool you have to generate sales and grow your business. The ideal short-form video either entertains or educates or ideally does both, depending on your niche. A really effective first sentence or headline in your caption will grab viewers attention. And to keep their attention, cut clips tight and talk fast, removing any dead air or pauses. Using props is another great way to draw viewers in.

 

Talking-head videos that share a tip are also effective marketing tools but be sure you set them up to collect an email address at the end.

 

These are just a few of the many tips Elise discusses in this episode. She is a fountain of knowledge when it comes to all things social media so make sure to tune in to this episode to hear all of the strategic and tactical information she has to share.

On this week’s episode of IMPACT, Meghan talks about the ”P” in IMPACT Medicine -- the people you serve in your business. She points out that our healthcare system is based on the “line of fine,” meaning that most healthcare professionals think getting people to the “you’re fine” state is enough. Healthcare is not set up to prevent illness or to teach people how to live a healthy, optimal life for longevity.

 

If you’re an allied care healthcare professional or any type of entrepreneur, there are three ingredients you must have to run your business and ultimately help people in the best way you can. 

 

The first is love -- you need to love what you do and connect to your purpose. The second is lucrative -- it has to make money and have a level of financial stability. And the third is leveraged -- having people and systems in place as part of your growth strategy.

 

Once these three things are in place, your clients will build trust with you. In the healthcare space, it means people will realize they can actually control their health through their actions, diet and frequency of exercise, with a trusted provider who thinks beyond the “you’re fine” mentality.

 

It’s important to select your business niche based on the problems your clients need to solve. All these topics and more will be presented at the Impact Lives event. 

Make sure to tune in to this episode to learn more about the “P” in IMPACT Medicine.

Sep 27, 2022

On this week’s episode of IMPACT, Meghan Walker talks about how we all sabotage our own mindset at times and go to a place of scarcity rather than a place of abundance. The mindset of waiting for people to come into our world and recognize and value who we are before we can feel good about ourselves is misguided.  We can’t move into a state of abundance when we’re trapped in a state of scarcity ourselves.

 

Meghan invites all her viewers to set a new standard for who they surround themselves with and the energies they will tolerate in their lives. Part of that is addressing your state of busyness and taking ownership of your own mindset – to move into a maximized state of impact no matter what your duties and responsibilities are.

 

Expect miracles and miracles will happen. It’s important to step into a state of self-authorization instead of a state of urgency, and that leads to a state of decisiveness which creates magnetic attraction to abundance.

The topic of mindset work is crucial, especially in the entrepreneurial world, so tune in and learn more!

Intention Is The New Balance - How To Live On Purpose with Amy Wong



Meghan is joined by the ever-compelling Amy Wong on this week’s episode of Impact. Amy is a leadership and transformational coach and the founder of  Always On Purpose®. Amy started out studying and teaching math and then went on to get a master’s degree in transpersonal psychology to feed her hunger for answers to life’s big questions. She’s written a book called “Living on Purpose, Five Deliberate Choices to Realize Fulfillment and Joy.”

 

Amy says the first step is to ask yourself – What’s more important? Playing it safe or changing the world? From there, you can make choices that get you to your goals. Living with intention means taking full responsibility for your choices. If you can learn to do that, you are never a victim of circumstance.

 

However, we all know that making big choices can bring about anxiety and nervousness. The key is to realize that you are always standing for something, which is your primary underlying objective. When you stand for growth and not conflict avoidance, your life will change radically.

 

Eloquence and innovation come from taking a stand for what you believe in and rechanneling all your doubt or anxiety into one focal point. This focusing mechanism is a powerful tool. When you claim what you want, you become empowered and feel unity, love and harmony in your life.

 

Tune in to hear all the ‘aha’ moments that Amy and Meghan’s discussion brings to light.

On this week’s episode of IMPACT, Meghan discusses the future of our healthcare system and what we can do to improve our present system which is based on a sick care system.

 

Meghan starts out by talking about getting her first mammogram and how it brought up concerns of depersonalization and lack of dignity for patients and what they’re going through.

  

Many aspects of our healthcare system have remained antiquated and have become undignified. Even handing a patient a hospital gown can be disenfranchising and disempowering. Meghan envisions a future healthcare system that’s sustainable and can perpetuate and enable humans to become their healthiest selves – to move people toward their health potential rather than just fixing chronic health issues and managing disease.

 

Our current system is based on maintaining a mediocre level of health rather than educating patients on how to build on their health.  This includes teaching people how to eat, how to exercise, and how to remove allergens from their diet. When we look at the future of healthcare, we must look at giving people a strategy on how to move forward toward optimal health and understanding how their bodies work. It also includes changing the traditional sick care system so healthcare providers don’t suffer from burnout.

 

Meghan is heading up her fifth year of Impact LIVEs from November 17 – 20, 2022, bringing together practitioners from around the world to discuss concepts at the forefront of healthcare. This year’s theme is understanding the future trends of healthcare and IMPACT medicine, including individualized care, the advent of DNA medicine, integration of technology and the intentional delivery of optimal healthcare.

Rachel Varga is a double-certified nurse and aesthetic specialist who’s done more than 20,000 rejuvenation procedures and has written international papers on optimal skincare. She’s at the top of her field when it comes to evidence-based approaches to skincare.

 

Let’s face it -- your skin quality is one of the first things people notice about you, and we all want to have radiant skin that glows. But how do you get to that level of radiance? It starts by solving your health issues from the inside out.

 

Rachel points out that air, water, lighting, and electromagnetic purification in your daily life is really key. Purify the air in your office and your living space. Use reverse osmosis to purify your water. For lighting, get rid of your LED lights and go back to halogen. Keep your phone on airplane mode. Turn Bluetooth off in your home.

 

She also recommends getting grounded by spending a lot of time outside and “living like a caveman” by eating the right foods, simplifying your routine, and limiting your cell phone use.

Love Coach, Sami Wunder, shares how high-performing women can find love in their lives without alienating their partners, and how they can keep that relationship high-performing.

 

Many women who consider themselves ambitious go-getters have a hard time attracting and keeping a good man in their lives. The first step is to look at how, as a woman, you may be contributing to the dynamics that you face in your love life. When women stop placing blame and learn how to be vulnerable in relationships, their partners react in a positive way and embrace that vulnerability.

 

That doesn’t mean playing a submissive role or acting helpless. It means looking at your love life patterns and seeing where you may be blocking love from coming in. Once you shift those patterns from a win/lose point of view to a new pattern of acceptance on both sides, the passion and love is enhanced.

 

A key factor is bringing the feminine aspect into a relationship. Embodying your feminine is about being who you truly are. Drop the masks, drop the walls and be vulnerable and comfortable in your own imperfection. Be open to receiving love as well as giving love. When you let your guard down, the real connection happens.

 

Tune in to this interesting discussion on love, vulnerability and the high-performance woman.

In this week’s episode of IMPACT, we had a conversation with Dr. Lauren Lee Stone. Dr. Lauren is a Board-Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS), Holistic Health Practitioner, and Integrative Health Practitioner. Today, she is here to talk to us about how to treat autism and other chronic diseases.

 

Dr. Lauren discusses how her son’s autism diagnosis led her to switch her field of study from Italian and French literature to holistic and integrative health, how long it took to start seeing positive results when healing his autism, commonalities she sees in treating kids with chronic illnesses, and more. We also speak about how foods have lost nutritional value throughout the decades and how infections run in biofilms. It always comes down to starting with the gut. The food we eat is essential to curing our body’s illness. 

 

Dr. Lauren was let down by the doctors at the Yale Child Study Center, so she took matters into her own hands and managed to heal her child with holistic and homeopathic medicine. Now he is a flourishing, handsome young man, on his way to getting his doctorate. It just goes to show that nothing is impossible in the world of natural medicine and healing. 

 

Tune in, absorb, and take notes to take control of your child’s health!

 “My journey was what I needed to do to clean up his life and to detox his body. And the first step was obviously food. I think that we all are unfortunately in a really compromised place because of the food in the United States. The standard American diet is horrific… our soils are incredibly depleted.”

“It’s very interesting. The second we started to give him amino acids, which I realized it was just bypassing his faulty and leaky gut, his brain started changing and he started connecting, and it was amazing.”

–Dr. Lauren Lee Stone

 

“We were giving him amino acids, we gave him fatty acids, and heavy-duty mitochondrial support. It was a life changing event for him to actually get nutrients in there. And then second to that, it was learning about homeopathic detoxes.”

–Dr. Lauren Lee Stone

 

 “The unfortunate truth is that we have to, in most cases, at least the kids that I deal with, you have to supplement. And really just giving that energetic boost to the cell. Once you have that extra energy, the body can choose to use it where it will and part of that is obviously to clean house.”

–Dr. Lauren Lee Stone

 

“The thing for me that is the most troubling is that kids come into my office, young kids who are on 5-6 medications. They’re all chasing symptoms and not really addressing any of the foundational pieces. I see this particularly with kids who have emotional expressions of disease, either who have focus issues, rage issues, or depression.”

–Dr. Lauren Lee Stone

“In truth, everything is part of a unified system. You can’t speak of one without speaking of the whole. So that’s what homotoxicology does, it looks at the whole being. It also looks at the being in terms of essential foundations which really is, it’s light and vibration.”

–Dr. Lauren Lee Stone

 

“We are light beings, we are all made up of vibrations. If you think back to basic chemistry, our bodies are made up of cells which can be broken down into molecules then atoms. We have electrons which circle the atom and the electrons vibrate.”

–Dr. Lauren Lee Stone

 

“Everything in the universe has its own electromagnetic vibrational signature. And that includes all living and nonliving things, it includes things that are healthy for us and not healthy for us. It also includes things like healthy tissues and disease tissues.”

–Dr. Lauren Lee Stone

 

“In my experience, infections like Lyme, strep, and whatever else, live often in biofilms, which means they have this little happy family of heavy metals that are with them, fungus that’s with them, and they’re out sort of together, hiding out in the body.”

In this week’s episode of IMPACT, we had a conversation with the inspirational Dr. Elisa Song. Dr. Song is an integrative pediatrician and a pediatric functional medicine expert. She has been doing this for over two decades now and it’s safe to assume that she is a powerful force in the integrative pediatric community. Today, she is here to talk to us about how to raise our children to grow up to live healthy and meaningful lives.

 

Dr. Song discusses how she became involved with integrative pediatric care, how Swanson’s TV dinners changed the way we view food, the rising sugar epidemic, and more. Dr. Song also speaks about everything we need to know about the gut microbiome, what vitamins most kids are deficient in, and suggests vital elements to maintain immune health.

 

As we start to pick up the pieces after a long pandemic and the catastrophe it has left in its wake, we must begin to think about the psychological toll it has had on our children. And continuing to feed them foods with artificial colors and ingredients will only worsen things. Make sure to make time for cooking healthy home-cooked meals and monitor what your kids’ minds are consuming as well. 

 

Tune in, take notes, and begin taking charge of your family’s well-being!

– Dr. Elisa Song, MD

 

“The #1 thing that can make a huge difference for kids and parents is if everybody knew how to read a food label. If everybody knew how to read a food label from a child-friendly, gut-microbiome-brain standpoint. Not just calories and fat.”

“If we train our taste buds to go back to understanding what real food is and also understanding the huge rise in the sugar intake… Now, the average human eats about 17 teaspoons of sugar a day.”

On this week’s episode of IMPACT, we had a tremendously important conversation with Dr. Roseann Capana-Hodge. Dr. Roseann is a mental health clinician, author, and founder of the Global Institute of Children’s Mental Health and Dr. Roseann, LLC. She is definitely “Changing the way we view and treat children’s mental health,” and she is here today to give us her secrets to raising healthy kids.

 

Dr. Roseann speaks about how she became involved with treating children’s mental health, how we are in a crisis state when it comes to mental health, why parents should be managing their own stress before assessing their child’s stress, and more. With the pandemic, mass shootings, and other tragedies happening all across the world, and now with those tragedies being more accessible than ever through social media, our children are bound to feel sad and frustrated.

 

Kids and parents need to have something that comforts and calms them because if they don’t, that stressor will keep on coming back and it will bring friends. Make sure to foster strong communication with your child before outsourcing because sometimes they just want someone that’ll listen without judgment. 

 

Make sure to tune in, take notes, and apply the knowledge that this very powerful woman is spilling over onto us, today.

On this week’s episode of IMPACT, we did not have a guest but we still had an impactful and meaningful conversation. Raising our children to be responsible, successful, and meaningful is something that needs to have the utmost attention as parents. What I wanted to talk about are the 7 core categories that will help kids grow to be healthy and resilient beings.

 

As parents, we may think that having our children grow up with the same customs and traditions that we had is acceptable because we did it and we turned out fine but did we really? About 1/3 of adults in North America take antidepressants. We need to examine ourselves before we embed our cultural misconceptions and habits onto them because they live in a whole new time, a whole new world than we did.
